ANNA'S POV

I followed the path of trampled tree branches and ruined shrubbery after the villain with an unnatural feline fetish. It kind of struck me as odd how all these loose branches were carelessly snapped in half and laying over the path. Catnappe was never the clumsy when making her escape. What if she wanted to be caught? I mean, we were after the Window of Hypnosis; the very same Shen Gon Wu which tore me from Raimundo. Could it be that this was all a tr-

"I got it!!!" Omi cried, wrenching me from my thoughts. I watched as my younger friend held the black and white swirled pendant from his fist. The medallion swiveled and swirled in the air as it dangled from Omi's hand.

"Yeah!" Raimundo exclaimed as he punched his fist into the air. "Now let's get back to the temple!" He took my hand as we headed out of the woods.

As I looked back one more time as to find any hint to Catnappe's strange behavior, I noticed something that sent waves of paranoia crashing on me. The look of malevolence in their eyes scared me, but what was worse was that they were directed at me.

DAI'S POV

The monks were gone and Miyako and I were alone. We were currently sitting under a plum tree in the garden. The sunlight made her skin have a slight glow.

We laughed and exchanged jokes and stories of our lives, and the more time I spent with her, the more she reminded me of someone.

Hina

Hina was the woman I had once loved, and sometimes her melodic laughter would still haunt my dreams. I knew that I shouldn't think of her, but seeing Miyako's beautiful smile made me think of her and how she used to smile exactly the same way.

I tried to push the painful memories away and focus on Miyako's soft hair and soulful eyes, but still in the back of my mind is her.

NOBODY'S POV

The paranoia that Anna had developed on that day did not dwindle. She became more jumpy and aware of her surroundings, and she was constantly questioning people of where they were and what they were up to. She tried to stay by Raimundo for as often as possible, but that was made difficult by his mother, Manuela and even Jack.

Several times, Anna had tried to explain her fears to her friends and fiance, but they just said that there was nothing to worry about.

"It is simply because we are better, and good triumphs over evil!" Omi had said proudly, but it still did nothing to ease Anna's worry.

Several sleepless night passed for her, and still nothing seemed to release Anna from her troubled state. One night, after trying to go to sleep for perhaps the hundredth time, the brunette youth decided to leave her room for the kitchen in the hopes that food would calm her nerve.

Upon reaching the kitchen, voices reached Anna's ears, and she slowed up until she was hiding behind the walls outside the kitchen.

"So, are you sure this plan will work?" came the familiar voice of a certain Brazilian girl.

"Absolutely. After this, Raimundo will be all yours." said the evil boy, and a gasp escaped her lips. The scuffle of feet and scrapping of chairs against linoleum were barely heard against the cries of a red-headed male.

"Window of Hypnosis!"
